The only delta it has with gdamore/tcell is this commit[7] which has been merged into upstream (gdamore/tcell) now, see[8]. And digging into lazygit's commits, you'd see that the change of fork in go.mod[9] has the commit message: """ This is temporary as long as gdamore/tcell#599 is not merged. Once that PR is merged, we can revert this.
